Day 85: Today's song is Pukarta Chala Hoon Main by Mohammed Rafi - Mere Sanam (1965)

It is day 85, and today's song is Pukarta Chala Hoon Main sung by Mohammed Rafi from the 1965 movie Mere Sanam, directed by Amar Kumar and produced by G.P. Sippy. Music composed by the legendary O.P. Nayyar and lyrics written by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

Great song! Guitar based, very Spanish music influenced song. 

I remember watching this movie on T.V. when I was a kid growing up in India. It's a good comedy romance drama movie. This film is the unofficial remake of Come September, which is a 1961 romantic comedy. I don't mind watching the movie again. Definitely a good song to cover singing with an acoustic guitar. Perhaps I will do that someday.

Lyrics: 

Pukarta chala hoon main

Gali gali bahar ki

Bas ek chhaanw zulf ki

Bas ek nigaah pyaar ki

Pukarta chala hoon main

Gali gali bahar ki

Bas ek chhaanw zulf ki

Bas ek nigaah pyaar ki

Pukarta chala hoon main

Ye dillagi ye shokhiya salam ki

Yahi to baat ho rahi hai kaam ki

Koi to mood ke dekh lega is taraf

Koi nazar to hogi mere naam ki

Pukarta chala hoon main

Gali gali bahar ki

Bas ek chhanw zulf ki

Bas ek nigah pyaar ki

Pukarta chala hoon main

Suni meri sada to kis yakin se

Ghata utar ke aa gayi zameen pe

Rahi yahi lagan to ai dil-e-jawa

Asar bhi ho rahega ek haseen pe

Pukarta chala hoon main

Gali gali bahar ki

Bas ek chhanw zulf ki

Bas ek nigah pyaar ki

Pukarta chala hoon main
